Creative Writing Workshop with Geraldine Finn

Each of us has our unique ‘writing voice’.

In this relaxed and informal workshop you will be encouraged to express that voice through the medium of story, poetry or memoir. We will use prompts and ‘triggers’ to get started. The workshop is suited to writers at all levels of their writing practice, and those who would like to get started. Most of all, this is about enjoying our time together! There will be a short break for refreshments during the workshop.
